Welcome to the world of pressure cooking. With your new <strong>Presto</strong> ® Pressure Cooker, you’ll discover how fast and easy it is to prepare a<br />
wide variety of delicious foods — especially foods that emphasize good health and nutrition along with good taste.<br />
The pressure cooker is perfect for the way we live and eat today. It’s ideal for preparing many of the lighter foods that help keep us<br />
healthy and fit. It preserves flavors and nutrients, tenderizes meat and, best of all, it cooks foods three to ten times faster than ordinary<br />
cooking methods. And it’s even possible to cook several foods in the pressure cooker at the same time without the flavors intermingling.<br />
We have included recipes for some traditional family favorites that are especially well suited to the many advantages of pressure cooking.<br />
For your convenience, we have also provided nutritional information for all of the recipes in this book.<br />
To help get started with your new pressure cooker, be sure to read the “GETTING ACQUAINTED” section beginning on page 3.<br />
